Abstract:Reef-building corals are susceptible to environmental stresses such as high water temperature and strong light intensity.Growth-ring formation and isotopic compositions of coral skeletons are known to be affected by various environmental factors. To understand the effect of light on skeletogenesis of corals, we conducted a long-term indoor culture experiment of Porites under different light conditions and analyzed the correlation between the carbon isotope fractionation and the photosynthetic parameters of the… Show more
